About

The Scottish Seminar in Early Modern Philosophy (SSEMP) was created in 2010 at the University of Aberdeen as a yearly two-day event. After five successive editions at the University of Aberdeen and two editions at the University of St. Andrews, the next event, SSEMP VIII, is scheduled to take place at the University of Edinburgh in April 2017. The SSEMP brings together established scholars, young researchers and advanced graduate students working in the field of Early Modern Philosophy. The aim is to foster scholarly exchange among the different generations of academics in the UK and to strengthen international collaboration. See below for the papers features at previous seminars:
